Explore Barigui Park | Curitiba's Green Treasure and the Lazy Charm of Capybaras

😊 Curitiba, Brazil, is home to the charming Barigui Park. Let's take a tour together. Barigui Park is located near the center of Curitiba and is one of the city's largest and oldest parks. It is named after the Barigui River that runs through it. 🌳 The park was originally built to prevent flooding and protect the original forest near the river. The park is also home to a special "resident" - the adorable capybara. As you enter the park, you'll see carefully constructed trails and recreational facilities. However, the most commendable thing about the park is that it was built to preserve the natural landscape and ecology as much as possible. Here, capybaras are the "star residents" of the park. They are very gentle and often stroll slowly through the park's woods and meadows. Look, some capybaras are lying comfortably on the rocks by the river, basking in the sun and enjoying their leisure time. They are so cute that visitors stop to watch and take photos. 😉 The French garden here is also unique. The huge glass greenhouse is a landmark building with three highly recognizable Art Nouveau domes. The greenhouse was inspired by the Crystal Palace in London, England, in the 19th century. In front of the greenhouse is a large French garden. The hedges divide the garden into various geometric shapes, which seem chaotic but are actually harmonious and unified. It is said that from the air, the entire garden looks like the six-sided flag of Curitiba. In the corner of the garden, you may even spot a capybara curiously poking its head out to explore the garden. On the streets of Curitiba, you can also experience the city's unique transportation culture. The bus stops here are futuristic, with the entire platform resembling a horizontal cylinder. The small base is cleverly hidden, making it look like it is floating above the ground. There are entrances and exits on both sides of the platform, and the rest is covered with glass, like an alien spaceship in a sci-fi movie. Here, you can see children treating it as a "playground," thinking it is a carefully designed viewing platform where they can see the treetops and birds outside. Of course, they can also see the capybaras leisurely grazing in the park. In addition, Curitiba is a city with a strong environmental awareness and a green philosophy. It has as many as nine forest areas and more than 200 free parks. These parks are like small green worlds that protect the city's ecology. Barigui Park is one of these green gems, bringing happiness to the people who live here and making a huge contribution to the city's ecological balance. As the "residents" of the park, capybaras add a touch of vitality and life to this green world. 😍 Here, you can experience the perfect blend of nature and culture. If you have the chance, be sure to visit Barigui Park and experience its unique charm. 💕
